Massasoit Community College Fall 2016 program

LaBellaVita · Jan 21, 2016

Have you considered applying to laboure college? Also as a back up. They do not require chemistry to get in. You get ur two year rn first and then while your a working rn you finish your bsn. You aren't restricted to completing the bsn with laboure but of course they want you too.

I was in the algebra intersession at the brockton campus too!! that class was brutal but i ended with a B. Where did you sit?

I hand delivered my application last wednesday. i wanted peace of mind knowing my application was complete. They opened it in front of me and we went through the whole thing together. Are you applying for LPN to RN or generic RN?

I have also applied to the program for fall start. I also applied to quincy college. Massasoit said we'd hear by May. I have all my prereqs completed, literally only need the nursing courses but I did not get all As in my prereqs so congrats to you on that, it's not easy! I transferred a lot of prereqs from BSU and then did all my sciences at Massasoit. I got an 83 on the reading portion of the teas and have a 3.04 GPA overall. Massasoit is my first choice as I already attend there but I know how difficult it is to get in so I'm banking on Quincy. Good luck to you and let me know when you hear back!

No way! That's too funny, that was the hardest two weeks of my life..lol. I sat in the middle, front row.

Gahhh....see I'm kicking myself for not hand delivering it now. I applied for the generic RN program, what about you?

Same here, I just have the nursing courses left to take. Thanks btw! Massasoit is my top choice also, I'm trying to stay positive about my chances of getting accepted, but it will be a long wait. Good luck to you as well, I will be posting when I hear from them.

You should be fine... I started in September 15, I found out I got in by checking my degree works... It changed from liberal arts science to nursing day a couple weeks before I got the letter so check that. Good luck!

Hi I applied this year to. have all my prereqs but micro and a&P 2 done, got QAs and Bs in all my prereqs, got an 88 on the TEAS reading portion bu also did good on the rest with a total individual score of 72, i believe I did good on the writing sample and essay, and also have my EMT-B and have been working as an EMT for about a year. What do you guys think, be honest please and thank you. Hopefully being a male helps!

They go by a rubric and for each requirement you get points. They told us at the info session you really should have all your prereqs done before applying since that's points you're losing right off the bat. But even without those classes you could maybe still get more points on other things than people with all the prereqs completed. Best of luck! Definitely post on here when you get your letter!

letters come out in may right? hopefully they change people's majors in april.

Hello everyone, I was a student this past Fall in the nursing program at Massasoit. Unfortunately I failed by a couple points and will be reapplying for this upcoming Fall of 2016.

When I applied for the program for the Fall of 2015, I had all my prereqs completed. I think this the best route to head in. The program itself is very difficult and an abundance of information all at once. TRUST ME, it's overwhelming, but just take deep breaths and keep telling yourself you can do this. There were quite a few people in my class who didn't have all their prereqs done, so don't worry too much about that. I think MCC looks mostly at your GPA, TEAS score, and also the letter you sent in on why you want to be a nurse. But I think now they have a new component of writing a paragraph at the information session to test your ability to write as well.

The program itself, let's just say you will eat, breathe, and defecate nursing material for the next two years of your life LOL. The BIGGEST form of advice I give people is definitely cut down on your hours at work. Prepare yourself from now until this September to be able to. That's the mistake I did thinking I could balance both and working 32-40hrs a week due to staff shortage at work. The reason why you want to be able to start from scratch by cutting your hours down or on your responsibilities, is because you literally will trip and fall face first into the nursing material from day 1. That train will start rolling in motion and you better hop on and stay on..

Another word of advise is to build a strong backbone and learn to say "NO" to people and/or events going on that you would usually attend. At first, yeah it's going to suck to say NO, but ultimately, it will be so beneficial when it comes to your grade. Also prepare to say "NO" to your friends, family, and partners. Your social life will kind of be non-existent and unknown for the next two years. You will make new friendships, so you'll still have some sort of social life with your nursing crew. But keep telling yourself it's only two years. Just put everything on pause for the next two years and hit resume once you graduate. This is one of the biggest leaps in your career goals and you can do this.

If anyone has any specific questions to ask about the program, I would love to answer them as much as I can. I'm not going to tell everyone the pin point details about the program because hey we all need some element of surprise, plus that's what orientation is for!

Finally when it comes to the acceptance letters. If you're currently a student at MCC, keep checking your Degree Works at the end of April and beginning of May. I got my letter in the mail on May 5th or around that time. It's worth the wait.

Overall you're choosing a great school and a great program. The professors are amazingly helpful, resourceful, and want you to succeed!! cJoCf1bJfwHpMV5ih-5XlTRFFUghqzxRjXxFTNTHZuj7OioGHP7_W3_CVNKAZbDANydlyF_K1-kYVYhggVpdh2tolqbn_c7AaioNBsPKHF6beNMK29A2UFFi67B2fnmtcOibWnU
